The sealing ritual for the Tailed Beasts continued smoothly amidst the Akatsuki members' bickering.
Meanwhile...
Within the Land of Earth.
A large man, clad in red samurai armor, with his face covered and wearing a hat, was slowly advancing by the river.
His attire was quite unique, and standing over two meters tall, he exuded a strong aura of mystery at first glance.
"Hey, big guy, care to come with me?"
Suddenly, a clear voice echoed from the sky.
The large man quickly looked up, and what he saw made him gasp in shock.
It was a giant female figure with wings!
He had never seen such a massive female giant before.
On the giant's back sat a handsome young man.
The large man's brow furrowed. He knew these visitors meant trouble and discreetly activated the steam mechanism on his armor, ready to attack at any moment.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Natsuhane. This is my summoned beast, Inyo."
"Oh... I don't know you. What do you want with me? Leave before I get angry, or don't blame me for getting rough! Wait... what did you say your name was?"
"I said, my name is Natsuhane..."
"...."
Han had heard this name before.
Although he usually stayed out of worldly affairs and focused on his duties for the village, Natsuhane's name had recently become very well-known in the shinobi world, making it hard not to remember.
It wasn't because of his immense strength, but rather because of his numerous wives!
In the Land of Fire, Konoha Village, a Uchiha ninja with thousands of wives, ranging from the big-breasted Hokage Tsunade to the young female owner of a restaurant, regardless of their identity, they were all his type. He married so many and had so many children that it was shocking.
With many people gossiping, his fame spread quickly.
The information about Natsuhane's strength didn't spread at all. Instead, the negative and false rumors about him being "lecherous," "improper," "likes both young and old," "pervert," and "coercive" spread completely.
However, most of it was men's jealousy and women's curiosity...
What kind of man could lead such a legendary life?
Today, Han finally saw the person himself...
"So, you are Natsuhane, huh. Hmph! Nothing special," Han dismissed him with a wave. "I'm not interested in men. You've got the wrong person."
"Uh?" Natsuhane was taken aback.
Seeing Natsuhane's innocent expression, Han sneered:
"Stop pretending! I've heard your stories, you pervert. You came for me because you have your eyes on me, right?"
"Let me tell you, though my burly figure is popular with women, you're the first man to take an interest. But I'm a normal person, so give up..."
"..."
Natsuhane scratched his head in confusion.
It seemed there was a deep misunderstanding here...
"You said you heard my stories, but they must be false stories!" Natsuhane leaped off Inyo's back, standing opposite Han, and smiled lightly:
"Sorry, but I'm not interested in men either. I'm here for the Five-Tails inside you."
"!!!"
Hearing this, Han was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter:
"Hahahahaha! Just a kid like you? You dare to covet the Tailed Beast inside me? I think you're tired of living!"
"Boom"
A large amount of white steam emanated from Han's armor.
"Today! I will end you and rid the world of a scourge for women!"
